All of a sudden the Canon has increased the listed price of their lens in India . The increase is almost double in the Indian market. Why only in India this has happened? Any reason? . Surely this will increase the share of gray market .

I was actually asking the OP, as I was going to buy the lens in India to get the Indian warranty. Canon India's website does not tell me which ones increased in price, just the present prices.
Thanks a lot, though

As far as I know, the increase is in all lenses. However the magnitude of increase will differ. If you are taking a lens from US to your friend, you will get it cheaper in US anyways (my experience so far), specially if you are taking a L lens. However, be ready to slug it out at airport with customs.
